Give them a phone with no play store or browser. If they get apks over mms or adb I think they’ve earned them

No, you need an account on mastodon or another microblog platform

You can’t easily run the normal version. You can install the android version fairly easily, but running the normal version requires you to enable a debian container from developer options

I think they’re referring to the fact that bash is GPL while ZSH is licensed permissively

Personally, the only thing that would help me for is if I wanted to kill myself

This doesn’t say they’re removing it, just deprecating it. I thought it had been deprecated for ages

You can keep only grub on the USB so windows can’t touch it. Avoids all those issues since the main install remains on the SSD.

Personally I just boot windows from usb. Rufus has the ability to install it there

I believe the idea is that even if the machine is running Windows, an attacker could just boot an affected grub version from a USB to perform the exploit

Android is fine because you’re able to use a web browser to get an auth key. You have to register devices where you can’t do that, and it seems to be impossible in the case of the pixel watch

Edit: Also, they’re not concerned about privacy. They want to know who every device belongs to

The Pixel watch has this problem too. However, it randomizes the MAC per network, so that strategy won’t even work. I’ve tried to get it from the debug log but failed I’ve resigned that it won’t be getting connected to the school network

I’ll admit to doing this (but with tmux)

If they’re using md5 (which would be in line with their security practices), the block size is 512 bits. That means that everything less than 64 characters is the same cost

Packet loss would be quite costly though

They can’t show you ads if you never connect them to the internet

You can get decently capable machines for under $100 if you go used

For people who haven’t heard it called that:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Natively somehow, or via LFS? If you have LFS set up, explorer lets you use it to mount Linux disks

Did you get it through your carrier? They add extra bloat vs buying it unlocked

Don’t most routers run some form of BSD?

They’re forced to look at ads anyway, as the IT dept blocks installing extensions
